DeWitt's was stocked yesterday with 1500 rainbows. Oxygen levels were excellent and the water looked as clean as I've ever seen it. For the past 4 years, the Airdrie Hunting & Fishing Association (Ahas conducted a fall weed cleanup. This past winter, a local ploughed a couple of strips of snow off with a quad. That helps tremendously in preventing winter kill. I have seen and heard of several large fish being caught this spring, so it looks like the efforts are paying off.
The next stocking of 1500 will be in June. As usual, the AHFA will be having a spring cleanup and hot dog roast that day. It's a great opportunity for kids (and adults) to see how stocking is done. I will post again when the date has been set.
